WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

As I reflect on my sixth year at Barnet School I continue to feel very grateful for the opportunity to serve in such a warm, supportive, and welcoming community. The community’s unwavering support of its school and its faculty and staff is commendable and very much appreciated. I want to recognize our faculty and staff as dedicated and caring people who understand the importance of keeping the best interests of children in mind whenever decisions are made. Our students continue to be interested in learning, enthusiastic, inquisitive, energetic, and well behaved, most of the time. For those times when a few of our students have difficulty behaving, we have instituted some new procedures to address their challenges. Beyond that we are embracing Vermont Positive Behavior Supports (VTPBS) a statewide effort to help school teams form behavioral and discipline systems that support students’ learning and social development. For the past year Barnet’s team has been attending workshops and monthly meetings to prepare for a four-day institute this summer. Team members Jean Densen, Nedra Willard, Susan Jensen, Cindy Mosedale, Bill Douglas, Cathy Browne, Susan Persson, and I will attend the institute and return with an action plan to train other staff members and to implement positive behavior supports for all students.
